Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight: Series Episode 6, Gods and Monsters – Phil and Chuck dive into the first Marvel Cinematic Universe show of 2022, which brings us into deep cut Marvel territory!
Marvel Studios’ new Moon Knight series takes us into the twisty-turny world of former US Marine Marc Spector. Operating as a mercenary in Sudan, he turns on his colleague Raoul Bushman when the latter kills an archeologist as the man’s daughter watches. Mortally wounded by Bushman, Spector dies in front of a statue of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu who revives him with a mission to serve as the “moon’s knight.”
In the episode 6 season finale, Marc Spector arrives at the Field of Reeds with Scales balanced following Steven Grant’s sacrifice. With fear and chaos spreading within the Underworld, Marc must find a way to return to the land of the living to stop Arthur Harrow, the next chosen avatar for the formerly banished Egyptian deity Ammit. Join Phil and Chuck for the breakdown!
